Ferdinand Barbedienne (10 January 1810 – 21 March 1892) was a French metalworker and manufacturer, who was well-known as a bronze founder, and who invented a machine to create miniature bronze replicas of statues.

Albert Susse conidered him the "pride of the nation" and he "carried the splendor of our industry so loftily to all international competitions".[1]

He is referenced[specify] in the play "No Exit" by Jean-Paul Sartre.
